The sun, an engine of nuclear energy
This article was full of really interesting information. It is hard to imagine where all of the energy in the world comes from and I never knew exactly how much goes on inside of stars. Who knew they were capable of so much?? When we look up at the sky the stars look so tiny, but in reality they are quite large and create tons of energy, and when they burn up all of their energy they die, but the energy that they created does not. New stars are born and the cycle starts over.
Here is a short video on FUSION
supernova - a massive explosion that is one of the most dramatic events in the universe...
It's crazy to think that all the light and energy in our universe is the result of atoms being built in the cores of stars. The energy released every time two particles fuse together, combined with trillions of other ongoing reactions, is enough to power a single star for billions of years.
Here's a video on supernovas!
Stars are so small but incredibly powerful, the natural phenomena that occur in our solar system truly amazes me.
